(5) PACESETTING - 'Do as I do, now' - sets extremely high performance standards + exemplifies them + drives for excellence + may take over for low performers; NEGATIVE climate effect (when overused); uses initiative + achievement + conscientiousness; effective with highly motivated + competent teams + technical experts; harmful when overused or with inexperienced teams. (6) COMMANDING (COERCIVE) - 'Do what I tell you' - demands immediate compliance + decisive + tight control + crisis management; NEGATIVE climate effect (when overused); uses influence + achievement + initiative; effective in crisis or with problem employees + war-room situations; harmful in non-crisis as default style.
